I've forgotten how naggy and absent minded she is! But now...there's laughter, noise and dinner with the whole family once again. And that can't be replaced by anything. =)
I remember the night she broke the news to me that she'll be working overseas. That she'll be leaving. I cried myself to sleep that night. I was only 15 and my sister, 7.
How was my family gonna stay together? Will my parents get divorced? How were we gonna survive with only my dad around?
Those were my fears. I was afraid my whole family would fall apart.
But 4...almost 5 years down the road...we're still together. And now, the glue that makes this family whole is back home. =)
So many things have happened, all of us have changed. I'm 20 this year! And my sister 12!
Truthfully...I guess in some ways its good my mum left. I grew more independent and responsible actually. Surprising. My 15 year old self was pretty dependent on her mummy. I got to know my dad more and my sister and I grew closer as well.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss my mum or that at times...I even envied my friends. With their family all together.
My mum going away made me treasure my family even more.
Thank You for making me realise this, God.
All I can say is
I'm just glad you're home, mummy. =)
